Игра проводится между двумя командами по 10 человек в каждой. Каждая команда перед игрой выбирает название и капитана.
Вопросы игры поделены на 6 тематических групп: знаменитые британцы, литература, удивительные факты, королевская семья, география и история. Выбор темы для ответа определяется при помощи кубика, на гранях которого написаны названия тем.
Каждая команда перед игрой получает “стартовый капитал” - 500 000
фунтов. Команды торгуются за право отвечать на вопрос по выпавшей теме. Торги происходят в форме аукциона. Выигравшая торги команда выбирает вопрос по данной теме и после тридцатисекундного обсуждения отвечает на него. Если ответ не верный, команда-соперник может попытаться ответить на тот же вопрос.
Игра продолжается даже в том случае, если у одной из команд не осталось денег, пока не будут исчерпаны все 18 вопросов (по 6 в каждом из 3-х туров). После каждого тура жюри объявляет промежуточные результаты, а после последнего тура объявляется команда-победитель и проводится награждение.
Выигрывает команда, потратившая меньше денег и заработавшая больше очков.
